The last available poster - "Monument for the Forgotten" - DMH's vision was brought to life by artist Brian Nesline - it includes hundreds of photographs of graves in institutional cemeteries in a unique mosaic celebrating the institutional restoration work organized by Dave Mack-Hardiman.

Also a signed copy of "Little Merritt's tomb" - 

Merritt Beardsley died from a feverish illness in December 1865 at the age of eight. Legend holds the young boy feared being buried in the dark. To alleviate his fear, Merritt's parents built an aboveground tomb with a window to catch the sunlight.

This printed field guide includes research, local newspaper articles and photographs of the tomb. This publication also details preservation efforts of the once-forgotten site located along Hoben Road in Oxford, New York. Stefan Foster, a local man, continues to volunteer as a caretaker for the timeworn cemetery. 

The tomb was vandalized in 1970 resulting in remains being stolen, namely, the skull that was subsequently recovered by local police. A small coffin that used to be visible through a small pane of glass was interred below the ground. 

Over the past decade, Foster has repaired the tomb and several monuments in the semi-forested cemetery. This publication encapsulates the unique history of the tomb with a window. 

Retail price would be $30 for the book, and $    for the poster

Raffle ticket price is $1.00, drawing will be at the reunion on October 12, 2025
